We like our superstars humble – even if the humility is false. We've bred an entire generation of athletes who will throw no-hitters, rack up triple-doubles or score four touchdowns only to blandly chalk it all up to great teammates and good luck. That has become the accepted, recommended and even enforced method of analyzing one's own greatness.
I don't see why it's so wrong for Usain Bolt to say that he is a legend when he knows that he is, or why it is so "wrong" to have these people attribute their successes to themselves- I'm sure it's not just them that has helped them succeed, but the self is the most important in your own success, and I don't understand why we must constantly tell the world that we are not good enough to seem like you're grateful for what others have done for you.
